Driven to succeed

I have experienced a lot of personalities in this university, some lecturers are very rude when you ask questions, like the thought of you even being slightly confused at what theyre saying is a crime, while some are eager to answer your questions and even welcome it, all in all i personally focus on the good ones because i am here for a purpose. But if you're really sensitive and these things are what you look out for, then this might come as a shock to you.

Bicocca Sociology

I am following the degree course in Sociology. I'm really happy with how I'm finding myself at this university. I think the professors are very good and available in giving any kind of information. Very active university life with numerous initiatives. Clean and sunny environment. I highly recommend it.

Graphic Design

I liked the ambiant, the friendly people, professional professors, the care of details. I had the opportunity to improve myself and find out more about me, my skills and what I'm looking for in a job.

A place for opportunities!

I completed both my Bachelor’s (Triennale) and Master’s (Magistrale) degrees in Biotechnology. Being in a small class was really helpful. It made communication between students and professors much easier. Also, the program offers a one-year internship packed with opportunities! .
